Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262264MG is an SS4 rear brake kit in Monster Green for rear ends with Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends and a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern. The kit pairs an S4 four-piston caliper with a 12.0 inch one-piece, vented rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated.
The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the park brake is built into the kit. Stainless braided hoses are included. The 12 inch SS4 suits most wheels 16 inch or larger, and the minimum wheel diameter is 16.0 inch. Wheel designs vary widely, so a fit with every wheel style cannot be assured; compare a template against the wheel you intend to use.
Key features
- S4 four-piston caliper manufactured in Phoenix, Az
- Hard anodized aluminum pistons with stainless steel abutments
- Dual seals that guard against dust, weather and pressure
- One-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated 12.0 inch rotor
- CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Powder coated caliper finish
- Steel braided brake hose, DOT approved
Before you buy
A rear disc conversion changes how the whole axle stops, so it helps to check the setup as one system rather than as separate parts. The caliper, rotor, backing plate and hoses have to match the axle flange and bolt pattern, and the wheel has to clear the caliper and rotor. Mismatches in any one area usually show up as rubbing, odd pedal feel or leaks, so a careful check before the first drive pays off.
Park brake work deserves its own look. When the park brake shoe sits inside the backing plate, cable routing and adjustment have to line up with the rest of the assembly. Many owners replace cables alongside the rotors if they show stretching or corrosion, since a cable that binds can keep the shoe from releasing cleanly.
Pads, hoses and fluid are normal wear items. Check rotor faces and pad surfaces at each service, look for heat cracks, and replace hoses that show swelling or cracking. Keep the brake fluid fresh, because moisture lowers its boiling point under repeated stops.
